FRITZ!Box as a Telephone System
The FRITZ!Box is a telephone system (PBX = Private Branch Exchange)
for Internet and fixed-line telephony. This chapter describes conve-
nience functions for the telephone system that can be configured in
your FRITZ!Box, for instance, telephone books, answering machines
and call diversion.
You will also find out which convenience functions can be used to
make calls, for instance internal calling, transferring calls, alternating
between calls and three-party conferences.
12.1
Using the Telephone Book and Call List
Telephone Book
A telephone book is at your disposal in the FRITZ!Box. In the
user interface the FRITZ!Box telephone book is found in the
“Telephony” menu.
If a cordless phone from AVM (for instance FRITZ!Fon MT-F) is
registered on the FRITZ!Box, you can use the telephone book
directly on the cordless telephone. If multiple AVM cordless
telephones are registered, you can set up an individual tele-
phone book for each cordless telephone in the FRITZ!Box.
Call List
In the call list the FRITZ!Box saves outgoing and incoming
calls, missed calls, and sent and received faxes.
In the FRITZ!Box user interface the call list is found in the “Te-
lephony” menu.
If the number of a caller or someone called is entered in the
FRITZ!Box telephone book, the call list will display the name
from the telephone book.
Numbers that are not saved in the telephone book can be
added to the telephone book from the call list.
The call list can be stored as a CSV file. CSV files can be
opened in programs like spreadsheet software.
